About Sara

Sara Da Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers practical, down-to-earth therapy for adults. She speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Her approach is collaborative and warm, aimed at helping people find tools that fit their daily lives.

Sara focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, body image struggles, and changes like divorce or caregiving transitions. Her practice includes work with aging and geriatric issues and challenges tied to medical illness or moving into assisted living.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens closely to each person's story before suggesting strategies. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to build connection and clarify values.

Sara keeps interactions straightforward and strengths-based. She helps people develop concrete coping skills for anger, substance use, low self-esteem, and career stress. Sessions aim to be interactive and focused on what the person wants to change now.

With three years of experience as an LCSW, Sara brings practical experience supporting adults through life transitions. She works with individuals over age 18 and with older adults, helping them manage mood, addiction concerns, and the emotional fallout of health or life changes.

Approaches Sara names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing new responses to reduce symptoms like depression or panic. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens and helps the person self-direct change.

Sara approaches choice of methods as a team effort. She will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try approaches together. Goals and preferences guide which techniques are emphasized over time so the work stays relevant to daily life.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text are helpful for quick check-ins, note-taking, or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health demands.
